Hardly any faction will kill you for getting arrested a singular time. Now if you are repeatedly getting arrested then that’s a different story, leaves too many chances for you to possibly snitch. Factions are based off of manpower. Makes no logistical sense for factions to be eager to PK, only hurts them.
Makes no sense to be eager to start a war against another faction/alliances, only puts your men, rackets, properties, and other things at risk. Offering a buyout is the best option for MOST situations. now obviously this is the criminal underworld and wars do happen, but it really should be the last resort. If you read through the conflict/escalation rules you’ll get a better sense of this as i’m assuming this is coming from the point of view from someone who has never made it past associate/senior associate. plenty of political things happen behind the scenes.
There will ALWAYS be the worry of a raid happening. From both the faction renting the room as well as the faction who owns the property. This really just boils down to how secure the faction is and the effort the police put in.
Funnily enough in recent times (the last few months) detectives and officers have been going undercover more frequently than any time before. There has been numerous instances of officers getting PKd due to being undercover in a faction, both while they were still in said faction or after they pulled out.
Overall there is just so much that happens behind the scenes that you simply haven’t had the chance to see yet for yourself either from your low playtime or the fact you haven’t really worked your way up in a family just yet.
